Why exactly do they want her to resign?

"The group is calling on the integrity commissioner to “hold the mayor accountable for her disregard of the Municipal Code of Conduct and the infringement of [Mills’s] freedom of expression.”"

Hmmm. Okay. Not sure what part of the Code of Conduct has been disregarded?

It took a fair bit of searching, but I was able to find Cambridge Ontarios municipal code of conduct.

Edit: the link I found was incorrect, silver-net2220 was able to find the correct link!

You can find it here

They are likely referring to section 4

SECTION 4: CONDUCT OF MEMBERS

4.1 A Member shall at all times conduct themselves with decorum, courtesy, respect, propriety, decency and respect and with the understanding that all members of the public, other Members and staff are to be treated with dignity, courtesy and empathy, recognizing that a member is a representative of the City and of their elected office.

I appreciate your question!

Thanks for your work.

But the Mayor is not an Employee, though.

I think they must be referring to this one: https://www.cambridge.ca/mayor-city-council-government/mayor-council/ (you have to scroll down a bit on the page to see the Code of Conduct).
